VCE Chin Hakha 2016–2024 Oral examination – October Examination specifications Overall conditions The examination will be sat at a time and date to be set annually by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). VCAA examination rules will apply. Details of these rules are published annually in the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook. The examination date, time and location for each student will be made available by the VCAA directly to education providers with students enrolled in VCE Chin Hakha for the year in question in Term 3 as a VASS download. The examination will be marked by a panel appointed by the VCAA. The examination will contribute 12.5 per cent to the study score. Content The VCE Chin Hakha Study Design 2016–2024 is the document for the development of the examination. All outcomes in Units 3 and 4 will be examined. All of the key knowledge and skills that underpin the outcomes in Units 3 and 4 are examinable. Format The examination will consist of two sections. Section 1 – Conversation (approximately seven minutes) The examination will begin with a conversation between the student and the assessors. It will consist of a general conversation about the student’s personal world, for example, school and home life, family and friends, interests and aspirations. Section 2 – Discussion (approximately eight minutes) Following the conversation, the student will indicate to the assessors the subtopic chosen for detailed study and, in no more than one minute, briefly introduce the main focus of their subtopic, alerting assessors to any objects brought to support the discussion. The focus of the discussion will be on exploring aspects of the language and culture of Chin Hakha-speaking communities. The student will be expected to make reference to texts studied. © VCAA 2017 – Version 2 – February 2021
